Many key archaeological reports that have been written over the last 40 years are not formally published, but are "contract completion reports" done for the purposes of environmental review and then submitted to review agencies like the Minnesota Historic Preservation Office (MnHPO) and the State Archaeologist. The selected references that appear below have, for the most part, been published in publicly accessible books and journals.
